When downloading, usually files required by the visualization for displaying, are transmitted to the respective display unit. These are especially image files or text list files.
Alternatively, you can configure,that the visualization accesses local files. So no files are transferred with a download
The following configuration is required to allow the visualization access to local files:
-
The file paths for image files or text files lists are relative.
-
The link type for image files is “Link to file”.
Using local visualization files

-
Open the image pool.
-
Select for each image under “Link Type” the setting “Link to file”.
The image is linked.
-
Select the command “Project Project Setting” and select the category “Visualization”.
-
Insert in tab “General” in “Image files” the local paths of the image files with relative path names.
